Re: [expert] password in KDE 2 screensaver

[Sheridan Hawken]

Hi everyone,

I found my root account works fine with locking the screen and needing a
password to get in.  However , all of my user accounts that log in with kde
do not need a password to unlock the screen even thought it is set to
demand a password.  I have tried it on a couple of machine with a fresh
install of mandrake 7.2 and it works fine.  It seems to be after updates
have been performed that it starts to unlock the screen with out a
password.  Is any one else having this problem? Knows which package causes
it?  or Knows how to fix it?

Thanks!

 Hello everyone.

I am having a strange problem. I am running Mandrake 7.2, and I
 regularly update the packages from mandrake update.

 If my screen saver turns on, or I lock the screen, the screen saver will
 come up and ask for the password.
 However no password is required. Press enter and it will let you in. I
 can replicate this on 3 boxes running 7.2

Has anyone else seen this??? It worked fine in 7.0??

  Thanks

Re: [expert] IP Masquerading

Hi Jon,

I would use port forwarding.  The rule in ipchains looks like this:

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -p tcp -L InternetIP  Port -R InternalIP Port

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -p tcp -L xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 -R xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 ( 
this allows http through to an internal machine )

There are some good how to docs on Ipchains at www.linuxdoc.org that can tell you more 
about it.

 I'm a linux newbie.  I've set up a machine with Mandrake 7.1 that I'm about to 
convert to 7.2.  I want to use it as a firewall between my internal network and my 
outside T1.  I've got a firewall script set up using IPChains that seems to work 
pretty well.  I created and used internal network IP addresses.

 I've got several machines where I would like certain ports to get through the 
firewall.  I have assigned internet IP addresses for these machines that I would like 
to translate to my internal IP's, and reverse it going out.  But only on certain 
ports.

 What is the best approach for this?

 Thanks,

 Yes, this looks like another eruption of off-topic posts...  IMHO, VB should
 be ported because that is the only way to achieve portability for MS Office
 documents.  StarOffice is really cool but ultimately not feasible if you are
 exchanging documents with a group of MS Office folks.  Unfortunately, VB
 would bring office products closer to managing that feasiblity.
 Unfortunately, VB is not an elegant language but it suits it's purpose.  Too
 bad tcl, perl, python, java, or javascript wasn't used for building these
 dynamic docs.  But those languages present quite a learning curve, this was
 VB strength.  Also, it enabled MS to lock in a lot of folks to it's
 proprietary ways of doing things.
